A New Go API for JSON

My only issue with it is that you can't ship a wasm go app in under 2mb. With rust you can make it under 100kb.

Jeez, and I thought 100 KB was absurd.

Do you do a lot of work in WASM? What is a reasonable size? Or just against the every increasing internet bloat in general?

Think about how many instructions fit in 100 KB. Why are they in your hello world?

Binary bloat is not just about size; it impacts startup time and icache. It’s basically the speed of light launch time.

So you’re telling me rust is not good for UNIX style tools.

isn't that one of TinyGo's raison d'etre's? I've never tried wasm, but executables are typically a magnitude smaller than go's (assuming your go code is compatible with tinygo, of course)
